Knife Value Question

Just posted this today. Is $200 too much? Brand new, no box. Just looking for opinions. Feel free to PM also.

I see that one just like it (same model, year, handle color, blade edge, blade finish) described as "excellent condition", and with box and papers sold at Arizona Customs last December for $275.

And I see that an identical one sold here last year on The Exchange with box and papers, but some cosmetic scuffs for $220.

Here's a tip- You can get an idea of what people are willing to pay for knives by doing searches at Arizona Customs. But look specifically for "sold" listings.

You can also search The Exchange for listings where the particular model you have has sold, although many sellers remove the "sold" prices from their listings after the sale. But some don't, like the guy who sold the green LUDT last year.

If your knife is in perfect condition, I'd say $200 is fair (no box or papers). And if it doesn't sell, you can always lower the price.

Thanks. I’ll give it a few days and see what happens. I thought is a fair price too. I guess sometimes it more about the box than the knife.

But understandably so with collecting as compared to using.

Give it a few days. I typically find that sales are slower over the weekends. I guess some people are not glued to their computers, bored at work.

Knife laws cause automatic listings to be slower too. You'd be surprised what lowering the price just below $200 will do.

Here's a trick for knife pricing: Go to r/knife_swap on reddit and search the knife you have. It's very active and everyone keeps the price listed after it's sold.

Thanks everyone.

Way overpriced. $50 is about right. I'll take it.
